Oleg Vorobyov Poems

The eyeballs' jet, nielloed depths
With shining glint of vital life within,
With trust-reposing and faithfullest abandon.
They gaze at you serenely,
...

In searching for some valuables untold
Your find sometimes is a fabulous fool's gold.

Who is the fool: who hid or who retrieved?
...

One's heart with faith must outpour
to grow on something, cultivate.
Some touchstone in to be immersed
and fatten on it as a bulwark.
...

We know from the mankind's crib
That all men 've got the missing rib.

The truest story ever spoken,
...

Ay, dolphins and bees -
We owe them much
For bright smiling seas,
And mindsets as such!
...

The yellow lion, watchful and intent,

against a sere backdrop of the veldt,
...

1
Once we wake up, exuviate
Our raucous dreams to nowhere,
And draws a veil over the fair,
...

All things are founded on love.
All things…
All before it a-shrove,
and given it their vows.
...

When you are in pain,
a friend comes to relieve.
He knows its worth,
He's eager to attend.
...

As the night fell,
Seductively placate,
As sweet as caramelle,
Lay on the world prostrate.
...
